[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my oldest (now 4th grade) started K, despite having some misgivings about doing so, we chose to opt out of our neighborhood school, which is a Title I school. (and was under NCLB sanction at that time, hence our right to opt out). We were concerned that he would fall through the cracks, since he already had most of the K academic skills going in (social skills, that is a whole other story).  Anyway, the school he ended up placed at had very good test scores. (and sadly in many ways , is the non-diversity extreme of our neighborhood school) I will say, after some years there, I found that they taught to the middle.  Differentiation there was IMO, minimal.  Then again, the classes have been huge too (29-30), so I do not entirely blame that on the teachers.  Ds is still there in an AAP (advanced) class.  Ds1 likes school, I would not say he loves it.  He is a great student, grade wise, but I think feels a bit like he does not fit in since it is not his neighborhood school.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "opting out?"  Did the school district place you?  Which school district?

Also, for the posters who spoke positively about an FCPS Title I school, can you say which ones?

Thanks![/quote]
